25778 Imprisoned for 3 years in 1906 at the Iowa State Penitentiary at Fort Madison, Iowa. His incarceration started Oct 20th, 1906 continuing to 19 Apr 1909. This is a maximum security prison.

25779 In "Richard Wright of Rehoboth and some of his relatives", Betty Davis c oncludes that there are two or more Richard Wrights living in early New E ngland: Richard Wright the Millwright Of Rehoboth and Richard Wright th e tailor of Plymouth. This prevalence bears careful watch in researchin g the two families. It is uncertain when our Richard Wright came to America since Richard W right is a common in England but it is believed that our Richard Wright c ame from Stepney. Middlesex, England. In Rev Richard Wright's, father o f our Capt Richard Wright, will dated 1 Apr 1633. he left his home to h is wife, Frances, for life an thento his son, Richard "if be in England ." This would imply that at that time time Richard Wright was either pl anning to leave England or had already absent himself to America. It is b elieved that Richard left in 1630 in theWinthrop Fleet from Stephey, Mi ddlesex, England with three daughters, Elinor, Abigail, and Elizabeth w ith a Margaret Wright. Boston church records dated 27 Aug 1630 show Ric hard Wright and Margaret Wright as members. WRIGHT, Captain Richard (I19688)

"Roy Puffer, Classed As Deserter, Gave Life for Country and Will Be Buried Here By Legion

Classed as a deserter by the War department, yet he gave his life for his country in France, the body of Roy F. Puffer will be buried by The Archie Lackshire Post of the American Legion in Bayside cemetery some day next week. The body will arrive in New York from France Aug. 2 and will be forwarded here at once for burial in the family plot in Bayside.

Twelve years ago Roy Puffer taught school in Door county and lived here with his mother. Shortly after leaving here he enlisted in the army but tired of the service. He was no "peace time" soldier, so he "bunched it" or "went over the hill" as soldiers express it.

He deserted in San Francisco and successfully eluding the authorities lived in the West for a number of years. Finally the United States got into a real war when every available man was needed and men who had been trained were needed at once. Roy crossed the continent and enlisted in New York, being in the first contingents to reach France.

When he enlisted he took his mother's maiden name, Lee, and it was as Sergeant Roy F. Lee that he died and was buried there, and as Sergeant Roy F. Lee that the body is being consigned to relatives here. While not a peace time soldier he title of sergeant shows that he made good when his country was really in need. He was about 32 years old.

His body will rest after honorable burial beside that of his mother, Mrs. Minnie Puffer, in Bayside. He leaves a brother and sister. The brother is George Puffer, principal and manager of the Fountain City Business College of Fond du Lac. The sister is Miss May Puffer, who lived with Dr. and Mrs. G. F. Hilton at the People's hospital a number of years.

A large delegation of Legion members is expected to attend the funeral"

25834 In February, 2002 Eugene Cole Zubrinsky posted the following on the Bliss board of GenForum:

Given the ease with which genealogical inaccuracies take on a life of their own, robustly surviving in the face of corrections, I hope that by posting this online, it might have a chance of supplanting the error with which it competes.

JONATHAN2 BLISS (1626-1687) was the son of Thomas1 and Dorothy (Wheatlie) Bliss of Braintree and Rehoboth, Mass. The oft-repeated claim that h is wife was MIRIAM HARMON is false. She was, in fact, neither a Miriam nor a Harmon; there is no record of a Miriam Harmon in New England during this period. Jonathan2 Bliss's wife was almost certainly a daughter of George PUFFER of Braintree, Mass., probably named RACHEL. For a complete discussion of the factors that led to this misidentification and the evidence supporting its correction, see NEHGR 151(1997):32-37.

Eugene is a respected and reliable genealogist and his article in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register presents a pretty thorough look at this matter.

25835 In filing for spousal benefits, the testimony of Susan, his wife, her first husband, Richard, was already married to Sarah Wilder (whom he left in Keene, NH). She didn't find out until 2 years later of this marriage. The marriage ceremony of Susan Beasley to Richard Puffer is established by recorded evidence, and no competent evidence has been secured to show that Richard Puffer did not have the legal capacity to contract in this marriage.

No divorce of Susan Beasley and Richard Puffer has been discovered in any records. A Richard Puffer was granted land in Dubuque, IA on 10 Nov 1859 and in Cass County, NE on 6 Dec 1860.

In 1177, Cardinal Peter of Saint Chrysogonus, on behalf of Pope Alexand er III, threatened to place England's continental possessions under an i nterdict if Henry did not proceed with the marriage. There were wides pread rumors that Henry had not only made Alys his mistress, but that s he had borne him a child. Henry died in 1189. Richard married Berengari a of Navarre on 12 May 1191 while still officially engaged to Alys. Alys Countess of The Vexin Princess of France (I1737)

25884 Isaac Allerton was born in England about 1583-1586, but his parentage has not been identified. He may be related to Mayflower passenger John Allerton, but no relationship between them has been documented. Isaac Allerton is found in several Leyden records, and his sister Sarah married Degory Priest there on the same day as Issac's marriage to Mary Norris. A John Allerton and a Robert Allerton can also be found in Leyden records. On 18 June 1618 in Leyden, Isaac Allerton, tailor, made a sworn statement for Nicholas Claverly, witnessed by Degory Priest. On 9 January 1619, Isaac Allerton made agreement with Alice Gallant, widow of John Hooke and current wife of Henry Gallant, to apprentice her twelve-year old son John Hooke to Isaac Allerton, to learn the tailor trade. John Hooke came with Isaac on the Mayflower, but died the first winter. William Bradford, c1650, included in his passenger list of the Mayflower: "Mr Isaack Allerton, and Mary his wife; with .3. children Bartholomew, Remember, and Mary. and a servant boy, John Hooke." He later wrote " Mr. Allerton his wife died with the first, and his servant John Hooke. His son Bartle is married in England but I know not how many children he hath. His daughter Remember is married at Salem and hath three or four children living. And his daughter Mary is married here and hath four children. Himself married again with the daughter of Mr. Brewster and hath one son living by her, but she is long since dead. And he is married again and hath left this place long ago. So I account his increase to be eight, besides his sons in England." On September 26, 1636 Isaac made a deposition in Boston stating he was aged about 53 years. Isaac Allerton has a relatively small number of descendants compared to other Mayflower passengers, but is an ancestor to Presidents Zachary Taylor and Franklin D. Roosevelt. ALLERTON, Isaac MAYFLOWER (I4703)
 
25885 Isaac and his wife, Irene Smith, and his first six children moved from Ashfield, Franklin Co. MA to a small settlement called Western, in Oneida Co. NY, where he carved a homestead out of a vast wilderness. He later moved his family to the nearby settlement of Williamstown where he built a saw mill on the Mlll Brook. He later built a mill on Fish Creek which became the business center of the settlement. Being a lumberman, he sailed down the St Lawrence River in 1811, just before the outbreak of war of 1812 with Great Britain, with a load of lumber. He was captured and imprisoned by British troops. He steadfastly refused to swear to the oath of allegiance and was deported to England where he remained in prison for 9 years. Upon his release the returned to Warren, Pennsylvania to live with his son Richard, where he died 5 May 1822. ALDEN, Isaac (I52058)

Had children in Roxbury by wife Sarah. Presumably he died in Dudley, Mass. but "Vital records of Dudley, Massachusetts to the end of the year 1849." (Published 1908 by F.P. Rice, trustee of the fund) took his death date from the cemetery reading of Quinebaug Cemetery, not from the actual town records. NEWELL, Isaac Jr. (I18560)
 
25889 It appears that he bought land in Hendricks, IN on 5 Jan 1831. Did he follow his brother to IN? POPE, George Whitefield Jr. (I13835)
 
25890 It has been generally "accepted" that Samuel married Ann Lee, daughter o f Robert and Mary Lee. Robert Lee was a shoemaker at Plymouth from befo re January 3, 1636 until after August 6, 1662. As of October20, 1643. h e had two daughters, Ann and Mary (both mentioned that date in the will o f John Atwood). John Atwood called the elder Lees "my brother and siste r". Daughter Mary Lee became the wife of John Howland, Jr., of Barnstab le,MA. LEE, Ann (I11909)
 
25891 It is assumed that she came over from England with her family ca 1635-1639. Some trees have her married in England to Jonathan Bliss, ca 1648, however she was in MA, by that time. Family: BLISS, Jonathan / PUFFER, Rachel (F3631)
 
25892 It is believed that he is the son of Jacob. He did marry but his wife is unknown, his death registration shows that he was 'widowed'. PUFFER, Jacob N. (I18659)
 
25893 It is difficult to determine if she is the same Ruth as Ruth Elizabeth Nelson, but it's likely she is. LINDEN, Ruth (I24186)
 
25894 It is likely that she and her husband are buried in the Old Burial Ground in Sturbridge. However, no records exist of their being buried there, nor stones, based on a recent (2017) physical survey. ALLEN, Rhoda (I54021)
 
25895 It is not known if he just assumed the name of his foster parents or had it legally changed. No adoption records have been found. PUFFER, Irvin Dewey (I3790)
 
25896 It is not known if this is Sewell's father. He is included here because he was in the Exeter, NH area at the time of Sewell's birth. Most of the early Federal Census records show a male in this family that fits his birth year. Also his (supposed) grandson was Rowland Barnes French, a naming tradition in this French family. Of course all of this is conjecture at this time. 10/29/19 DMC FRENCH, Barnes (I51937)
 
25897 It is not known what her surname actually was. RAYNELL\REYNOLD, Margaret (I6810)
 
25898 It is not proven he is the son of Henry Marion and Alice Toner Puffer. He is put here as they are the only Puffer's in OK that fit. More research is needed to prove his lineage. PUFFER, John A. (I43391)
 
25899 It is not proven he is the son of Thomas and Mary Gload Puffer.
He is living at the same residence as Warren Puffer in 1853 and 1856. A brother?
Living in the same town (Concord, NH) as Warren Puffer in 1840, with a son 5-10 yrs; a daughter 5-10, and a wife 30-40. 
PUFFER, George O. (I41891)
 
25900 It is not proven she is a daughter of Simeon and Fanny. It can be certain that she was, at least, raised by them.
In 1845 Cornelius (her brother) attempted to claim unpaid war pensions for his father, Simeon. He lists the surviving children of Simeon as himself, Benjamin, Sally, Harriet and Hannah. Since Lucretia is still alive in 1845 it's unlikely Cornelius would forget his sister. In 1810 NY State Census for Coeymans, NY lists 2 girls under the age of 10 in Simeons household. The two older girls, Sally and Harriet, are over 10. Hannah is the only daughter under 10. Yet the census shows two. The 2nd is Lucretia, perhaps she's a granddaughter or niece. 
PUFFER, Lucretia (I34789)
 
25901 It is not proven she is the daughter of Alvin and Evelyn Blodgett Puffer. Her dates fit theirs. More research is needed. PUFFER, Madeline (I57134)

25903 It is not proven she was married to Thomas Tracy Family: TRACY, Lt. Thomas / CONWAY, Mary (F7547)
 
25904 It is not proven that she is the daughter of Josiah and Roxanna Alger Puffer. She is put here because no instance of her birth parents can be found in records, and these are the closest people in age and place as parents. More research is needed. PUFFER, Lydia Ann (I13895)
 
25905 It is not proven that this is the "Hannah Warren" that John Hale Puffer intended to marry in 1799. However, she is the only Hannah Warren that fits the dates and area (Boxborough, MA). WARREN, Hannah (I21002)
 
25906 It is possible that he is "Henry Samuel Puffer" as their dates are so close and no record of him is found after 1860. PUFFER, Harvey (I36046)
 
25907 It is recorded that Thomas was the first settler of Freshwater Brook, now Thompsonville, Enfield, CT. In 1668 he resided in Westfield, MA, where he was a selectman (legislator). In March 1680 he sold his property and moved back to Enfield, CT. BANCROFT, Lt. Thomas (I15563)
 
25908 It is said that he went to Monckton, VT. He afterward settled in Freedom, Portage County, OH, and died there at a ripe old age.

25910 It is thought Emma and Ellis were either separated or divorced as the lived most of their lives apart. LOTTRIDGE, Emma Loduska (I18437)
 
25911 it is unclear which cemetery she is buried in. Her stone is in Talmage, NE, however, she has a record of burial in Riverside, CA CLARK, Hiley (I36111)
 
25912 It is unknown if Adalind is truly Richbod's mother. Richbod (I1431)
 
25913 It is unknown if he is the son or grandson of John and Sylvina Nash. He appears in the 1870 Federal Census in Columbia, ME. NASH, William (I57613)
 
25914 It is unknown if she was adopted or just a ward of the Puffers. Did she take their last name? More research is needed. PUFFER, Matilda Brown (I37867)
 
25915 It is unknown if this is the same Joanna. She is definitely recorded as the daughter of James Bowdoin and Persis Puffer, and her dates are clear also. Joanna Eames Puffer lived past infancy the records show. PUFFER, Joanna (I41900)
 
25916 It is unknown why he didn't take his father's name unless he was born to Annie Naomi and some other man prior to her marriage to John Colby. PUFFER, George Alfred (I3287)
 
25917 It is unlikely that Abigail Baily and Abel Titus, Sr. were married, although they had three children, all of whom carried his surname:
Sarah "Sally" Titus
Hannah Titus
Abel Elon Titus, Jr.

In December 1841 Abigail Bailey and her three children – Sarah "Sally" Titus, Hannah (Titus) Coombs, and Abel Titus - submitted claims to the Probate Court for moneys that were owed to them for services and labor on behalf of Abel Titus. Their claims were disallowed.
In April 1842, the Court found that Abigail Bailey was "insane and incapable of taking care of herself" and a guardian was appointed for her.
On 6 January 1845, Eugene S. Parker, the administrator of the estate, maintained that daughters Naomi (wife of Jonathan Parker) and Eunice (wife of Rufus Parker) were the only legitimate heirs to the estate. And the Court agreed. The probate was concluded. 
BAILEY, Abigail (I62958)
 
25918 It is unproven if Elizabeth Sedley was the wife of George Puffer. Some modern genealogies put her here and I have included her just on that possibility. There is some speculation that her husband George may have been an indentured servant of her father, James Sedley. Again, there is no historical proof that this is so. In fact, there are no records at all of any Sedley's arriving in the colonies from 1620-1640.
We do know that the wife of George Puffer "died at Braintree, February 18, 1676". DMC 
Elizabeth (I6049)
 
25919 It is unproven if these are Mary's parents. The Puffer Genealogy book, by Nutt, says her parents are Jacob and Experience Read. READ, Mary (I34322)
 
25920 It is unproven that she is the wife of John Clark and buried with him. JEWELL, Eunice (I45909)
 
25921 It isn't proven that he was the husb of Adah Cory, however he's the only Puffer that fits the age and location. Family: PUFFER, Glenn David / CORY, Adah Odella (F16403)
 
25922 It isn't proven that this is Omer Plante, but all the dates and locations fit. He originally signed his name "Omer Plante" in two places, then added the "George Joseph". PLANTE, Omer (I45933)
 
25923 It unproven she's a twin of Constance or the same girl. They never appear separately. GILL, Faith Josephine (I49272)
 
25924 It was this fact that started me on my genealogical journey (1985). I saw a mention of this historical event in the writings of my grandfather's cousin. A trip to the library confirmed the historic accuracy and the name of my ancestor. The die was cast from that moment on. DMC FARNSWORTH, Rachel (I9430)
 
25925 It was this generation, around 1870 when men were changing their bundle some, immigrant name s to the American version.

25928 It was undetermined if his death was a result of murder or suicide. An autopsy was unable to determine the cause of death with certainty. His death was caused by a blow to the head with a long handled axe, and although the wound was severe, he actually bled to death as his brain was unaffected.
Puffer was erratic in his behavior, addicted to alcohol, and want to suspect that people were following him, according to neighbors.
He lived in a shack on the banks of the Cole's river, Wilbur Avenue, South Swansea, MA. There was no sign of a struggle in his room. 
PUFFER, Frank A. (I32816)
 
25929 It's curious that he has a (supposed) half-brother also named Edward (Edgar) born out of wedlock with another woman around the same time. (See Edward Ovitt (Eldred). OVITT, Edward Daniel (I51746)
 
25930 It's likely he is the son of Benjamin and a first wife as there is a 9 year difference in age with his sister, Mariah. PUFFER, Henry (I61378)
 
25931 It's not certain if this is a male or female (Frances). Cemetery records indicate "Frances". PUFFER, Francis (I22399)
 
25932 It's not clear from records if her name is Mary or Melissa/Malissa. She is found in the 1870 and 1880 Federal Censuses, with her daughter Florence, in Burke, NY under "Malissa/Melissa". PUFFER, Mary (I40274)
 
25933 It's not known for sure who the parents of this infant are. It's either Emma I. Puffer and James Dunn or Emma's parents. The death date is a bit old for her parents. PUFFER, Baby (I38842)
 
25934 It's not proven he was buried here but it is likely given his age as this was one of the first burial grounds in Braintree. PUFFER, Joseph (I34008)
 
25935 It's not proven he was their son, but this is the only family that fits in place and time. PUFFER, Robert H. (I58917)
 
25936 It's not proven she is the daughter of Daniel and Susan Dingman Puffer. Her birth date preceeds their marriage date by 4 years. She could be a niece or sister-in-law, however she is listed in the 1861 Canada Census with the family. PUFFER, Sarah (I58713)
 
25937 It's not proven she is the daughter of Orlin G. however it is known that her mother was Catherine (1940 Fed Census). A housekeeper in a private home according to the 1940 Federal Census.
More research is necessary. 
PUFFER, Margaret (I42344)
 
25938 It's not proven she is the daughter of Samuel Puffer and Elizabeth C. Duff. In the 1850 Federal Census she is listed as Elizabeth Pupper, and is living with her half-sister Matilda Puffer, 27, and her husband George Wilcher (spelled Melcher in the census), 35; George Wilcher's mother Caroline Hedger, 70; and George and Matilda's daughter, Catherine, 1. PUFFER, Elizabeth (I45431)
 
25939 It's not proven she is their daughter. A 1900 Federal Census records shows her birth in Ireland, married to Darius Denison. STICKLE, Mary Ellis (I58593)
 
25940 It's not proven she was their daughter, but this is the only family that fits in place and time. PUFFER, Catherine W. (I58918)
 
25941 It's not proven that they were actually married. Although their names and dates appear in the marriage records for MA, 1840-1915, some of their information is X'd out. Family: PUFFER, Frank Henry / LOVEJOY, Rosella J. (F5228)
 
25942 It's not proven this is the correct Nellie Puffer, but is likely. PUFFER, Nellie (I42820)
 
25943 It's not proven this is the Harry Puffer shown in the 1950 Federal Census, but he is the only Harry Puffer that fits dates. PUFFER, Harry M. (I37514)
 
25944 It's shown on the marriage certificate for Sarah and William Van Atter, that a C. F. Puffer was a witness. The only C. F. Puffer that fits the age and place is Clarence Filmore Puffer (1862-1936) Family: VAN ATTER, William / JOHNSON, Sarah E. (F17220)
 
25945 Jacob is listed on the 1830 Stokes County, NC, Census with his wife. Jacob is also listed on the 1840 Stokes County, NC, Census with his wif e and 6 boys and 2 girls. Jacob is listed on the 1850 Forsythe County, NC census with wife and 10 c hildren. Jacob is buried in the Friedland Moravian Cemetery, Winston-Salem, Fors ythe County, North Carolina. Jacob is listed on the Stokes County, NC, 1815 Tax List. When Forsythe County was formed from Stokes and Surry Counties, Jacob w as a resident in Forsythe County, NC. WILLIARD, Jacob (I1583)
 
25946 Jacob Jr is buried in the Forsythe Memorial Park Cemetery, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Jacob and Alpheus were evidently twins. WILLARD, Jacob Jr (I6387)
 
25947 Jacob Thompson Smith built the farmhouse I lived in for 11+ years. It was part of the Smith Farm, so called, which encompassed 150+ acres in the Abbotts Creek (now Sedge Garden) area of Kernersville. SMITH, Jacob Thompson (I13150)
 
25948 James Haynes was born in Sudbury, MA on March 17, 1660/61. He was the eighth child of John Haynes and Dorothy Noyes, daughter of Peter Noyes, and grandson of Walter Haynes. James married, in Sudbury, Sarah Noyes of the same town. There are contradictory records of the date of the marriage, it was either November 21, 1689, or December 21, 1690. Sarah was born in Sudbury on September 28, 1669, the daughter of Joseph Noyes and Mary Darnell or Darvell. Sarah was not a descendant of the Peter Noyes who is so often linked with Walter Haynes in the history of Sudbury. Her father was of the Newbury Noyes clan, but a link between that family and the family of Peter Noyes, back in England, has been established.

James was a defender at the Haynes Garrison House during King Philip's War. He was a farmer, and a deacon in the church at Sudbury from 1706 to 1715. James contracted to build a new meeting house for Sudbury. He was to be paid in merchantable Indian corn, peas, beef, pork and malt. James and Sarah had seven children. James died in Sudbury on October 15, 1732, and is buried in the old cemetery, called the Revolutionary War Cemetery, at Sudbury. Sarah died on September 13, 1756, but her death is not recorded in Sudbury vital records. 
HAYNES, Deacon James (I33969)
 
25949 James McChesney stayed in Canada from 1842 to 1846, where four of his c hildren were born. He then came to Steuben County, NY and joined his mo ther, Sarah McChesney.
